The Prussian State Gazette of the 26th ult. publishes the text of a law for the regulation of railroad companies in the Prussian dominions. It consists of forty-nine articles, and is framed in such a manner as to guard the public as much as possible from the speculation and jobbing to which undertakings of this nature are so liable to give rise. Among the more essential stipulations which it makes with this object in view, it provides, that while the shares may be made payable to bearer and free from stamp duty, no promises of shares before the undertaking of a railroad is authorized, nor provisional acknowledgments, are to be issued. Every subscriber for shares is to be bound per sonally to pay forty per cent. of the nominal capital sub scribed for by him, and he cannot get rid of this obligation in favour of a third person or of the company,under any pre tence whatever. In case of a railroad not being terminated within the time fixed in the grant of privilcge,the Government is to have the power, after a delay of six months, of ordering the road to be finished by public contract, at the charge of the company. The privileges of the post establishment may be exercised by railroad companies under certain con ditions. Railroads are to be charged with an impost pro portioned to the amount of the reserved fund of the com pany, but only after the railroad shall have been opened , three years, and that the state of its returns admits of it, and no other taxes are to be laid upon it. This impost is to indemnify the State for the diminution of re venue caused by the railroad in the post department, and to form a sinking fund for the paying off the capital em ployed in the construction of the road. The State re serves to itself the right of purchasing the railroad after a lapse of 30 years, on paying to the company 25 times the amount of the mean annual dividend received by it during the last fire years of the 30, the State at the same time taking upon itself the liabilities of the company, but be coming absolute owners of all its property, including the re served fund. No grant of a rival line can be made for the first 30 years ; but after the first three years other com panies may acquire the right from the State of conveying passengers and merchandise by the same line, on paying a fixed rate of charge to the original company. One of the concluding stipulations of this law is, that no damage occasioned to the railroad by measures adopted, even by or der of Government in time of war, is to be paid for by the State. This law affects all grants of railroad already made, as well as those to come. We have received from a respectable correspondent a frightful account of a daring attempt to assassinate Mr. Gouldsbury, of the neighbourhood of Clondra, county of Longford, on Friday night last, which has led to the appre hension of Mr. James Tempany and Mr. Thomas Downing, under whose roof Mr. Gouldsbury was, as a guest, when the attempt was made upon his life by two asssassins. Mr. Gouldsbury, it appears, had been out shooting waterfowl, and upon his return he met Tempany, who is connected in trade with Dowling, and upon the invitation of Gouldsbury, Tem pany and he retired to a house in the village to get some punch ; while there, taking refreshment, Tempany received a note from Dowling, with whom Mr. Gouldsbury had not been on terms, and, upon reading the note, Tempany ex presseda wish that Gouldsbury should accompany himhome, in order, if possible, to effect a reconciliation. This invita tion was accepted, and on entering the house of the partners, Tempany and Gouldsbury found Dowlingrin com pany with a fourth person. While Gouldsbury and Dow hng were conversing Tempany left the room, and, finding taah i e d tone of D ow li ng b y no means agreeable, Gouldsbury ~N Well, I suppose I am to be beaten to-night. " one of in returned, Gould s b ury up b ra id e d hi m w i t h having left.

The cause of the quarrel on the part of is said to be a disincli nation on the part of Mr. Gouldslagu'ry!.eallow Dowling to shoot on his land, which is of considerable neighbourhood of Clondra. W e are etent about the glad to learn that Mr. Gouldsbury's wound is not dangerous. He is a Pro testant, and the other parties are Roman Catholics. The assassins are not known to him. Dowlin g and Tempany arc said to have entered upon their usual avocation s the follow ing day, without taking any step to discover the ruffians. —Dublin Packet. `.~v,.

The following is a translation of a decree published in the Naples Gazelle of the Ist inst., prohibiting the exportation of grain and pulse from the kingdom of the Two Sicilies ; " Having perused with much attention the reports made to us by the Ministers for the Home Department, regarding the short crops of grain and pulse in our kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and likewise the report respecting the export that has already taken place, and is still in progress, which may be followed by serious evils to the public subsistence ; • " Having further observed the high prices paying for all sorts of grain, we have, by the advice of our Secretary of State for the Home Department and the ordinary Council of State, resolved to issue the following decree, viz.:-- " 1. The export of all kinds of grain and pulse is hereby suspended, in consequence of our Royal determination, from all our Royal dominions, from the date of the present decree. " 2. Our Secretaries of State for the home Department and Finance, each according to the virtue of his office, is to see that this decree is signed and enforced. (Signed) " FERDINANDO. " Palermo, 27th November, 1838." The ENGLISH in the PERSIAN GULF (From the Gazette de Smyrne.) The ancient town of Aden, capital of the small kingdom of which it bears the name, in the Yemen, is paced by the geographers in the Gulf of Aden, outside the Red Sea. The new town of the Aden, by which name the English have just christened it, is at the mouth of the Red Sea, in the Straits of Babelmandel, a bay sufficiently spacious- to contain a fleet and an infinite number of merchantmen of all sizes, and which offers always a safe asylum against the storms so frequent in these latitudes. This bay is open to the N.W., and comes up to the town. To the south of the bay, at a very little distance, and to wards the middle of the strait, is the small island of Perim, the true gate of the Arabian Gulf, which the English fortified in 1799, and which they appear to wish to make a second Gibraltar. They are actively working at the fortifications of it, as well as on those of Aden, and when they snail be finished, the English will be able to monopolize the commerce of this sera. Even already a great many vessels of that nation make a considerable traffic by it of arms and ammunition, on the coast of Abyssinia as well as on those of Arabia Felix. It is in the direction of Mocha especially that their operations have attained to a considerable extension. All the Mocha coffe which formerly went to Egypt is, at present, export ed by them to England. It is now nearly four months since that the English have taken possession of Aden, the acquisition of which cost them but the moderate sum of thirty thousand talari. It was a scheik, or chief of a tribe whose name is not known, who sold it to them for that sum, and who after having given it up to them, re tired with his followers into the interior of Arabia ; for one of the principal clauses in the bargain was the retire ment of the scheik to a certain distance from Aden. It is not known what is the extent of the territory depen dent or acquired round the city, neither is the force of the garrison which has been established there known. It is certain that the English Government seems to attach great importance to this new acquisition. Latterly it notifie to Mehemet Ali, by means of its Consul-General in Egypt, that he must give particular orders to his troops nut to approach Aden, under pain of seeing such violation of ter ritory severely punished, and that it would be looked upon as an act of hostility against England. _ _ _ On the other hand the British Government has within the last year named numerous agents on all the principal points of the shores of the Red Sea. At this very moment they are preparing a consular regulation which is intended to fix the powers of each of those functionaries according to the grade and importance of the post they occupy. The East India Company, which bas always seconded the Government in all its enterprises has not been found wanting in this circumstance, when their interests are most at stake. They have already expended considerable sums in the con struction of the projected railroads between Suez and Cairo, and in the establishment of two inns, which are nearly finished, one at Suez, the other about half way to Cairo. While waiting the commencement of the rail road, they talk of repairing the road, and of establishing between Suez and Cairo, for the conveyance of passengers and merchandise, diligences which will perform the journey in 24 hours, instead of four days as hitherto. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of last Night.) SUGAR. —The demand for West India Muscovaikes - has abated since our last, which might have been expected, consi dering the extensive purchases which have been made of late. Grocers as well as Refiners have purchased very sparingly, 1. and the quantity disposed of by private contract during the three days amount to only 1,100 hbds and tierces, nearly all of which was sold by one party, and were principally taken for Bristol and Hull. Importers, however, remain firm, and the advanced rates of last week have been supported for both brown and yellow descriptions. Two public sales of Bar badoes, consisting of 237 hhds, 11 tierces, 36 has went at full prices, and all were disposed of, fine at 67s 6d a 68s, good 653 a 66s 6d, good mid 63s 6d a 64s 6d, mid 62s a 635, one lot ord 59s 6d. Privately good dry brown and greyish (with a few better on the same board) St. Lucia, Antigua, and Tri nidad have been sold at 583 to 595; St. Vincent's and Do minica ditto with more strength 59s to 60s, low middling to good middling from the different colonies 61e to 665, and of the finer description hardly any are to be met with. The letters received from several of the West India Islands speak favourably of the crops, but on several of the estates the negroes were working reluctantly. This afternoon there was again only a limited demand either for the scale or refining, but importers remain firm, and have obtained previouk rates for all descriptions ; the total quantity sold for the week is 2,000 hhds and trs. REFINED.—The grocers in the early part of the week were free buyers, and previous rates were fully supported, Lumps equal to the standard selling at 765, but during the last two or three days the demand has slackened, and the transactions have been limited : in common as well as in the better de scriptions prices, however, remain firm. For shipping there has been nothing doing, and the price for double crushed is still uncertain. Pieces and Bastards have been taken less freely, but previous rates have been maintained. The demand for Treacle has been limited, but late rates have been sup ported. For 200 hhds Dutch crushed 32s 6d has been ac cepted. MAURITIUS.—In the early part of the week there was a good demand by private contract both from grocers and refiners, and 3,309 bags at public sale were sold at prices fully up to those of Friday last, low yellow brought 565, good mid to fine 61s a 655, low brown 475, good 53s 6d, strong grey 59s 6d a 61s 6d ; but during the last two days the purchases have been limited in both brown and yellow descriptions, prices, however, remain firm; the deliveries since last Friday have been extensive,exceeding those of the corresponding period of last year by 2,546 bags. The stock is now 25,955 bags larger than last year, there has been no arrivals since our last, and nothing is declared for public competition next week. This afternoon 4,318 bags at public sale, a superior parcel, sold at full prices, good to fine yellow at 61s 6d a 64s 6d per cant. EAST INDlA.—Manilla has been sought after by the refiners at late rates, but importers demanding stiffer prices have checked business, and the operations privately have been only to a limited extent, and confined to 1,000 bags at 22s a 24s 6d for low brown to good yellow, none has been offered at auc tion, and at present nothing is declared ; for Siam previous rates are required, but there has been only a limited business doing • the grocers have manifested less anxiety to purchase Bengal, but the supply continuing short, they have been com pelled to pay previous rates ; some arrivals are near at hand. This afternoon 111 bags Bengal at public sale brought full prices, good and fine wbite 66s a 68s 6d, mid 64s 6d per cwt. MoLassEs,—West India are held for full prices, but there has been only a limited business doing since our last, 31s a 32s has been obtained for fine Antigua, and for Barbadoes 33s is asked.

COFFEE.—lmporters of British Plantation st,ll refuse to submit to lower prices, but the announcement of 6,276 bags Ceylon, 466 bales Mocha, and 160 bales My: ore for auction on Tuesday and Wednesday next, has produced increased dul. ness in the Market, and the transactions in all descriptions have been very limited. At public sale, 57 casks 209 bags were all bought in for the want of bidders; middling Jamaica at 110 , .; good and fine ordinary Demerara at 90s to 95s ; but a small part has been sold since the sale at the buy ing in prices; the lower qualities are particularly neglected, from the apprehension entertained by the buyers that the arrivals expected early next year from the Cape at the 9d duty will come more immediately into competition with them ; 271 casks 20 bags have been imported from the West Indies since our last; 150 casks 100 bags are declared for auction next week.
